Problems with Installation

Post by tommmoe »

Hi,

I'm having a bit of trouble installing the veeamsnap rpm, I have installed all dependencies but still receive the following error.

Code: Select all

Complete!

Code: Select all

If anyone could give me a hand on this it would be much appreciated.

Can you try to do the following:

Code: Select all

yum install kernel-devel
Then re-install both veeamsnap & veeam.

If possible could you also try to do a reboot to see if the headers are loaded correctly?

Hi Niels,

I've previously installed kernel-devel, but for the sake of testing I reinstalled it and also kernel-headers-$(uname -r)

Rebooted the server and tried the veeamsnap reinstall with yum reinstall veeamsnap-1.0.0.499-1.noarch.rpm but still get the same error.

Can you do a list -al under /lib/modules/2.6.32-573.22.1.el6.x86_64 (folder name might be different as it should be the kernel number)
In this folder are there 2 symlinks called source & build (going to /usr/src/linux-headers-... )?

Also could you try yum update and see if this updates dkms? Could you give us the output of "dkms --version" ?

Could you also tell us a bit more about the server (is it a physical server, a VM, linux container,...) and the specs related?

No problem,

Sorry about getting back to you so late.

Looks like build is symlinked to the right place and source is symlinked to build.

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 51 Apr 18 15:57 build -> ../../../usr/src/kernels/2.6.32-573.22.1.el6.x86_64

lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 5 Apr 18 15:57 source -> build

I have run yum update and it has updated a whole bunch of stuff.

dkms: 2.2.1.0

The install is still unfortunately giving me the same error.

It's a physical machine (HPE DL20 G9) running RHEL 6.8

Intel Pentium G4400 processor

Did you remove the installed veeam and veeamsnap package and installed them again already? As DKMS got updated it seems.

Also if the kernel had an update a reboot is required to load everything correctly. So you might need to reboot before reinstalling.

Perfect!

Removed the package as before, restarted, installed again and no problems!

Thanks for the help Niels!

The kernel headers don't match the kernel you are running. Can you try to update them by running:

Code: Select all

yum install kernel-uek-devel-`uname -r`
